Turn on broiler and broil until crumbs are golden brown, about 2 minutes. * When salting water for cooking, use 1 tablespoon for every 4 quarts water. **This can also be made in 8 small baking ramekins for appetizers, or 4 larger individual baking dishes for main dish-sized. ***Lastly, I don't recall my mom using a whole lot of fresh herbs when making this herself, especially during the winter! So she had to have either subbed dried herbs for some of them, or used italian seasoned breadcrumbs instead. So that's an option for you, too. All I remember was it was PURE HEAVEN... do hope you try it! Enjoy for me!! :D (Photo from bing images)
